Sorry you can't be over in London for the James Fitzjames booklaunch - on the 197th anniversary of his birth too - but I really appreciate your interest. I'm hoping to be over in Canada this autumn (sorry, Fall...) and if so I'll hope we can meet up then. <br /><br />Anyone else who wants to come to the Fitzjames book launch in London - just let me know.<br /><br />(Sorry to hijack your blog, Russell, but I hope you don't mind...)<br /><br />WilliamWilliam Battersbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00452863778733148002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873756940955163469.post-80461667781785986382010-04-06T16:29:13.954-07:002010-04-06T16:29:13.954-07:00Sorry to hear you won't be able to make it!
